Linn Grove Items. Wesley Norris, a nephew of lot French, was at his bedside late last week. Arthur Miller, of Decatur, is paying his annual respects to his many friends here. Lot French, after a lingering illness of cancer ofthe stomach, died on Saturday morning. Aaron Augsberger, who has been working near Bluffton. Ohio, for some time has returned home owing to a hurt received whde working on a saw mill at that place, Levi Hanes who has been visiting here lor the last three months was summoned to his home at Niantic, to the bedside of his daughter, Mrs. Geo. Lindsey. Edward Heche, who fell irom the roof of a barn some two months ago, we are glad to note is now getting better. Al though he is not able to be up having no use of his lower limbs. Peter C. Steiner, while up in the loft of his barn on Saturday, fell some fifteen feet to the 11. or. He was bruised considerable, bfit as better fortune had it no bones were broken, however, he is not able to be up, the trouble being of a spinal nature. We regiet to note the accident of Mrs. C - tharine Slawson in which she came near lo ing her lite at a railroad crossing at Indianapolis. Her horse was killed while her life was spared only by being thrown from her conveyance just before reahirg the crossing, escaping with a few bruises. George Adler has bought the entire stock of undertaking goods of G. W. Pyle, of Geneva, consisting of coffins, caskets, and undertaking supplies. Mr. Adler has now two hearses, one of them being for sale. He has completed an ice casket so that a dead body may be kept perfect for a number of days. It is well arranged and sightly. Lot French was born March 26, 1813, in Miama county, Ohio, and died at his home near Linn Grove, Ind., July 18, IS9I, aged 71 years, 3 months and 22 days. He was united in marriage to Miss Mary Darst, September 14, 1837, who is yet living. Twelve children were the fruits of their union, six of them are living and six of them are dead. Father French came to see this country in IS3B, when two years latter lie, with his then small family, moved out to battle with the privations of a new country,, and settled on the land on which he died, thus having lived upwards of one half century on the same farm. In IS6O he, with his wife united with the Methodist church when three years later both joined the Dunkard faith. He remaining with them about twelve yeaas, after which he made no profession. He was buried from the Baptist church at Linn Grove on last Sabbath, the services being conducted by' Rev. J. Near assisted by Rev. J. Evans in the presence of a large concourse of people, making the third adult person buried from that family in the short period of thirteen months. The beautiful casket was bedecked simply with a minature sheaf of wheat, being a beatiful emblem of the gathering. One by one the sheaves o ripened grain from the field of life’s* harvest for the Lord’s garner. Thus has one more pioneer exchanged the evening of life for the morning of life’s hope promised to all who do the will of Him that holds our destines in His hand. Merit Wins.

Monroe Items I < htrries wantid at Monte. 11 ghest pr ee paid for blackberries at Simcoke's drug stere. The ice cream festival given by Mrs. Merryman last Saturday’ night was fiber ally patronized. The Mrs. Gottschalk and Brennaman, of Berne had a social visit last Friday with Mr. and Mrs. At Hoffer, of Monroe. F. W. Hoffer, Berne’s tonsorial artist, and lady, spent a happy day with Mr. •nd Mrs J J. Hoffer, last Thursday at Moh roe. The Bap'ists here are bound to build a church house in Monroe. Subscription papers are in 1 irculation and the public are donating very liberally. The old lady came to town last Saturday night to attend t >.e fee cream festival. She saw Dan Urick there, she left thinkiig not to cver-cro .'d him. Toe turnip patch” belonging to Cyrus Sackett, one mile south of Monroe, was destroyed by some men, not boys this ti ne. They are well known. It is said t.’.at the grasshoppers and the Monroe boys will take the late crops if they are not checked. The hoppers will take the oats and meadows and the boys the apples and turnips. Ross John Johnson, our bloody butcher’s son, Alph Graham, John Blossom, Ecl Macy and Morse Hendricks are attending the Decatur Normal School. All honor to our Monroe boys. The farmers are complaining of some boys who are running a’l over the country hunting rnellon and turnip patches. Look out, boys, you may be caught on a tree while you are making observations. The American Fruit Evaporator will pay a larger percent this year, if run, than a thresher’s machine. Every man that has an orchard ought to have an evaporator and save the fruit that would go to waste, u The grand jury will learn the ways and doings of many of our boys and men next session. There are complaints of chicken stealing, honey, turnips, potatoes and fruit stealing, buggy whips are stolen from buggies, and all kinds of meanness is carried on and no one knows anything about -it, kept sly, but murder will out. The holy Sabbbath was doubly desecra ted last Sabbath by the coming of a hoodlum show. Five men, one woman and a common sized tent, drawn by- two unsightly mules with no hair on their tails, their hair having been whipped off by a cyclone at Williamsburg, last Saturday. They pitched their tent on a vacant lot causing all the kids in town to forget I heir suppers. Monday morning the town was billed, headed with Moore & Reeder’s mammoth pavillion show, this evening. The pavillion was full of people who enjoyed the evening hugely, if the laughs incated fun. Last Sunday week ago. yes begora, it was the holly- Sabbath, <Alf Hoffer and J. A. Hendricks with their ladies, also a few others of Monroe, concluded on havint/fi time at Smith’t park lake of' the woods, about eight miles south of Monroe. The parties armed themselves with fishing tackle, loaves of bread, cake, chickon toast and other necessaries of life, wheeled over to the dazzling lake to while away Sunday’s hours on the banks and bosom of the placid waters. Al Hoffer and Charlie Teeple were selected as explorers and fisholcgists. The sail boat was a dug-out, which was anchored near the beach, it was confiscated, I manned by Al who guided it to the center of the lake to sound it and ascertain how many fathoms deep their bodies would go in case of drowning. Having forgot their sounding string, Al concluded to use Charlie Teeple as a sounder. Tile ladies on shore were nervously watching the craftsmen when all of a sudden a sphash and an “uh” echoed to the shore, the dugout rolled over and sent the craftsmen headlong, when they regained themselves to their surprise the water was only crotch deep, such unsightly go to-meetin’ clothes they never had on before. A shriek of laughter rent the woods from shore to shore by everybody, except an old lady who was smoking, fainted and swal lowed her pipe stem, while the baby held its breath, the father in running to extricate the stem, stumbled over a log and fell head first into his dinner basket damaging a cherry pie. He arose with the cherry stain on his face which so resembled blood that it frightened the balance of the children, they stampeded, but the mother recovered, and the baby has its breath at last accounts. The Monroe party arrived home without further mishaps, perfectly satisfied that the day was well spent. To the Sunday Schools. The M. E. Sunday school of the city of Decatur extends a cordial invitation to all Sunday schools of Adams county to join them in a reunion celebration to be held in Zimmerman’s grove, August 13th.
